then again, to me, all religons are very arrogant. (this is why i dont care for any of them) all say that theyre right, your wrong, and your going to burn in hell forever because you were uneducated and didnt beleive in what we do. if someone could physically prove to me what religon was right, i would convert instantly. but, no one can. people should be able to beleive what they want (and i am very glad that i live in the amazing country that i do, that gives me the right to do something that other people might be killed for doing) so the only thing that really pisses me off about religon is the arrogance. but, every man to his own
Well, thats the problem. From nothing comes nothing, so the only other alternative is that something was always something. That something is believed by many to be "god". However, since we now know that evolution occured, and that man or life was not "created", it leaves any rational person at the conclusion that there is no god. We will never know anything beyond the big bang, and how anything from it got here in the first place and thats probably where it ends.. or at least for a really long time where minimal progress will be made.
